Three hours after I gave my name and e-mail address to Michael Fertik, the CEO of Reputation.com, he called me back and read my Social Security number to me. "We had it a coup…le of hours ago," he said. "I was just too busy to call." In the past few months, I have been told many more-interesting facts about myself than my Social Security number. I've gathered a bit of the vast amount of data that's being collected both online and off by companies in stealth - taken from the websites I look at, the stuff I buy, my Facebook photos, my warranty cards, my customer-reward cards, the songs I listen to online, surveys I was guilted into filling out and magazines I subscribe to. (See pictures of a Facebook server farm.) Google's Ads Preferences believes I'm a guy interested in politics, Asian food, perfume, celebrity gossip, animated movies and crime but who doesn't care about "books & literature" or "people & society." (So not true.) Yahoo! has me down as a 36-to-45-year-old male who uses a Mac computer and likes hockey, rap, rock, parenting, recipes, clothes and beauty products; it also thinks I live in New York, even though I moved to Los Angeles more than six years ago. Alliance Data, an enormous data-marketing firm in Texas, knows that I'm a 39-year-old college-educated Jewish male who takes in at least $125,000 a year, makes most of his purchases online and spends an average of only $25 per item. Specifically, it knows that on Jan. 24, 2004, I spent $46 on "low-ticket gifts and merchandise" and that on Oct. 10, 2010, I spent $180 on intimate apparel. It knows about more than 100 purchases in between. Alliance also knows I owe $854,000 on a house built in 1939 that - get this - it thinks has stucco walls. They're mostly wood siding with a little stucco on the bottom! Idiots. EXelate, a Manhattan company that acts as an exchange for the buying and selling of people's data, thinks I have a high net worth and dig green living and travel within the U.S. BlueKai, one of eXelate's competitors in Bellevue, Wash., believes I'm a "collegiate-minded" senior executive with a high net worth who rents sports cars (note to Time Inc. accounting: it's wrong unless the Toyota Yaris is a sports car). At one point BlueKai also believed, probably based on my $180 splurge for my wife Cassandra on HerRoom.com, that I was an 18-to-19-year-old woman. RapLeaf, a data-mining company that was recently banned by Facebook because it mined people's user IDs, has me down as a 35-to-44-year-old married male with a graduate degree living in L.A. But RapLeaf thinks I have no kids, work as a medical professional and drive a truck. RapLeaf clearly does not read my column in TIME. (See 25 websites you can't live without.) Intellidyn, a company that buys and sells data, searched its file on me, which says I'm a writer at Time Inc. and a "highly assimilated" Jew. It knows that Cassandra and I like gardening, fashion, home decorating and exercise, though in my case the word like means "am forced to be involved in." We are pretty unlikely to buy car insurance by mail but extremely likely to go on a European river cruise, despite the fact that we are totally not going to go on a European river cruise. There are tons of other companies I could have called to learn more about myself, but in a result no one could have predicted, I got bored.

ABSTRACT This report details the work done towards the project "Chat Server". This particular project is a solution developed to communicate between the users across wo…rldwide through Internet. The concept of sending letters and telegraphs has been reduced due to the new era of Internet Mailing. One such facility is being provided by the Chat Server. A message or an information can be sent via many medias, such as it can be telephonic, telegrams, fax etc to the reciepient. Each such information requires a high level of security. To maintain such security and smooth completion of any communication it requires more time and human effort in manual systems. "Chat Server" automates all the aspects stated above related to a communication in a highly secure environment. This project has been developed to receive instant and urgent messages and to provide total user satisfaction. The entire process has been automated using JAVA technology and SQL SERVER to smoothen the flow of information in a highly secure environment across the network. The solution has been deployed, tested and validated thoroughly. While designing the system, care has been taken in efficiency, maintenance and reusability of the software for the present and future changes in the system. SYNOPSIS This is a copy of the synopsis, which was submitted to the institute in the beginning of the project. ABOUT THE PROJECT : - This particular project is a solution developed to communicate between the users across worldwide through Internet. The concept of sending letters and telegraphs has been reduced due to the new era of Internet Mailing. One such facility is being provided by the Chat Server. "Chat Server" automates all the aspects stated above related to a communication in a highly secure environment. This project has been developed to receive instant messages and to provide total user satisfaction. Existing System : - It is limited to only two clients. The existing Chat Server System is only meant for transfer of messages from one client to the other. But the messages cannot be formatted and made attractive to look as well as graphical emotional pictures cannot be added to send the picture messages. This system does not provide the facility of sending and receiving greetings of different occasions. This system does not provide the facility of adding friends and exclusively chatting with the particular added friend. Proposed System : - PDS. [Predictivity Dialing System]. Eg. Avaia, Maclenn, SRC & so on. To enhance the performace the system, which helps them to monitor the performance of agents who r online. The proposed " Chat Server " is a chatting application that provides a good user interface with all the facilities of a chat application. Users have their user-id. User can communicate with any other user, who is online. User gets a list of online users. User can select any user and send a message. Message can be formatted in terms of font style and size. He can also send some graphical emotional pictures. This application also manages the list of all online users. It also provides the facility of browser window to surf simultaneous. Client Module: It provides a frame to login to the chat server. After providing the userid and password the get access to his main frame. He will get a list of online users, area to enter the text, options to format the message. He can also send some image with the message. This application provides option for changing his personal profile. The user can add any other user to his friend list. Server Module: The server module is responsible for validating the user information. It allows the authorized user to get facilities provided by this application. It also displays the online users list. It is connected to the database server to perform the function like modifying the user profile, creating a new user account etc. Advantages of Proposed System : - The application is feasible for the economic as well as the technical advantages it gives. The main advantages are: - As the solutions is integrated and developed on the JAVA technology so that it provides multi functionality services. The solution is built purely on the Java Technology using the latest version of Java Swing. So the solution is platform independent and architecture independent and supports different RDBMS packages as Java has in built support for the drivers of different databases. The JAVA based solution is defined as the solution for the enterprise wide application where each and every individual system are integrated on the JAVA platform for the smooth communication among different technologies and solutions. This particular project is a solution developed to communicate between the users across worldwide through Internet. The concept of sending letters and telegraphs has been reduced due to the new era of Internet Mailing. One such facility is being provided by the Chat Server. A message or an information can be sent via many medias, such as it can be telephonic, telegrams, fax etc to the reciepient. Each such information requires a high level of security. To maintain such security and smooth completion of any communication it requires more time and human effort in manual systems. This project has been developed to receive instant formatted test and graphical messages and to provide total user satisfaction.
